Artist Statement:
My creativity often leads me to the edge of the figurative and non-figurative abstract worlds, luring me back and forth across this delicate divide on my artistic journey.
Abstract is the art form which speaks to me the loudest; while it requires an undeniable form of self-discipline to control flow, rhythm and energy, it abides to no rules and it stands alone as an art form which allows anything to come to life. Abstract art leads the viewers and painters alike on a thrilling path of discovery where the rational mind no longer dictates how things are or should be and where everything is palpable and resonates if only we allow ourselves the freedom to stop thinking.
In today’s world, the mind desperately craves a reprieve or harbor, a safe and fun playground of its very own without rules to abide by. Abstract art represents the utmost level of freedom to me.

Artist Bio:
Of French and Hungarian origin, I grew up outside of Paris, France until I moved to the United States in my late teens. I live today in the Boston area. A self-taught artist whose artistic journey transformed me from a young pencil drawing enthusiast to collage artistry, my true calling resides within the nebulous boundaries of non-representational abstract painting.
